Why Tankardstown House is one of the best wedding Venue?
Tankardstown House is one of the premier wedding venue in Ireland with many weddings organised every year. From a small intimate wedding to a big party.
So you’re planning your wedding? Exciting times! And there’s never been a more exciting place or time to be planning a wedding than Ireland. When I started over ten years ago, weddings in Ireland were quite different – much more formal and much less personal, it was very difficult to be creative. Since then the rules have been rewritten, couples now come first, and weddings have become reflections of personal style. As a couple, you’re planning the best party you’ll probably ever have, so it’s important that you find the very best place in which to celebrate. After receiving hundreds of requests for help finding the perfect property, I felt the time was right to curate my own personal recommendations for the best places to celebrate. I travelled the length and breadth of Ireland visiting beautiful places and meeting wonderful people.
Located just outside the picturesque village of Slane, Tankardstown House offers the privacy of your own country estate with the superlative service you would expect of a 5-star hotel. The house comprises a variety of reception rooms and a private bar, red for more intimate celebrations, while the Orangery offers unique dining space for larger wedding parties. The beautiful grounds include a walled garden, which has a sound system installed – it makes a magical location for an outdoor ceremony. The bedrooms in the main we are pure luxury.
Why couples love the estate?
In Ireland, there are a number of beautiful houses offering exclusivity to couples however what I believe makes Tankardstown House stand out from the crowd is our beautiful Orangery. The Orangery was completed in 2012 and can set up to 250 guests, it offers a seamless link from the indoors through a bright space adorned with candelabras. Chandelier antique furniture and it edged mirrors. When couples take a tour around the place it’s breathtaking and hard to be seen in other houses. having coordinated the busier year to date, which comprised of hosting some celebrity weddings alone with many of Ireland elite.
But walk into the Orangery for the first time is something special .You can see couples eyes just light up. They knew this is the place they like to get married. If you’re opting for a ceremony venue that offers a legally hiding marriage without the religion bit then look no further. Tankardstown is great venues for your civil ceremony also. They offer also outdoor ceremonies in one of their stunning grounds whatever you like walled garden or tie the knot under old tree. Choice is yours!
Certainly one of the differences noticed is that Brides and Grooms have become more creative in stamping their own piece of personal style on the day.
When planning your wedding select the dishes that you like, which may not necessarily be the usual ones. Most likely if you love the dish then guests will as well, you should not doubt yourself. At Tankardstown House we source locally where ever possible, our ever-evolving walled garden is growing more prolific with each passing season and our hens produce as many eggs as possible Any good kitchen will source produce locally and where possible, you should try to select dishes that are in season – says Gillian Brown wedding manager behind weddings in the hotel.
